Small Crop In West Progresses On Schedule

While the weather was unpredictable in Texas and parts of the Mid-South and Southeast, conditions were more favorable in the West.

Upland production in Arizona was actually up 4 percent this year at 420,000 bales while California was projected to produce 218,000 bales – a decrease of 41 percent compared to 2008.

The quality of the crop is projected as good-to-excellent in both states.

Meanwhile, total Pima production in the West is expected to be 367,000 bales with yields at 1,205 pounds per acre.
